IMPORTANT MESSAGE ABOUT DREDGING IN FENWICK ISLAND –Third and Final Public Notification for Dredge Permit Applications

DNREC WETLANDS AND WATERWAYS Public Notification

Dear Fenwick Islanders:

As mentioned in our previous communications about dredging permits, there will be three rounds of Public Notification periods related to our applications (one with US Army Corps of Engineers and two with DNREC). 

We are now in the third and final Round of Public Notifications related to our critical dredging project.  This Public Notification period relates to DNREC and supports our Subaqueous Permit and Water Quality Certification request. 

This final DNREC permit notification period will last until October 31. 

For additional information, please read the attached summary notification from DNREC which can also be found on their website.  

DNREC will review all communications received from the public related to this project.  

It is critical that as many folks as possible send an email expressing their support for this important project.

The point of contact for these DNREC public comments is Mr. Matt Jones and the Public Notification comment email address

Is: DNREC_Wetlands_Waterways@delaware.gov .

You can also mail a letter to Mr. Jones at the following address:

Wetlands and Waterways

89 Kings Hwy

Dover, DE 19901

Please keep in mind that each one of these notification periods is independent of the others so it is critical to provide feedback for each permit application.

Thank you in advance and we hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the Fall season.

Regards,

The Fenwick Island Dredging Committee
